Wawa Restaurants, Scenic Points of Interest & Information

The Northern Lights Motel & Chalets are located 8 kms West of the turn off to Wawa. We are beside the Northern Lights FORD Dealership.

The town of Wawa on Gorgeous Wawa Lake – 8 minutes away

*Remember that Wawa’s Beer/Liquor Store Hours are very limited. Be sure to stop along the way to pick up alcohol if you are arriving after 6 PM most days and 4 PM Sundays* To avoid disappointment, pick something up along the way. The Duty Free (before the International Bridge), Sault Ste Marie, Goulais Bay, Batchawana, & White River all have Beer/Liquor stores.

Since we bought the Motel in 1999, Rural Towns, including Wawa, have lost an incredible amount of Restaurants (Hotels too), but there are still many wonderful places to dine in our area (10 minutes drive). Lai’s Chinese Restaurant will deliver too. We thank you for supporting our local businesses and are happy to supply you with their Breakfast and Dinner menus, along with a valuable map showing Wawa Restaurant locations and many Scenic Points of Interest. We have Chips, Chocolate Bars, Soda Pop & Complimentary Ice at the Front Desk. Along with Frosty Mugs, Frozen Mugs, Corkscrews, & Wine Glasses (drinking wine out of a paper cup is just wrong). Plates and utensils are available too. For other food options in Wawa, we have a Valumart Grocery Store with a take-out Deli. A 24 Hour Mac’s Convenience Store & Tim Hortons.

Take a drive down Tremblay Road and make a “Circle Tour” before or after meals ~

Of course you have to stop at the Wawa Visitor Centre and take a Photo of the Wawa Goose

Here’s a photo of my Father visiting the Original Goose, holding my brother Rob, 1961 (The Original Goose is beside Young’s General Store)

We have 4 acres of wonderful wildlife that LOVE unsalted peanuts. You might be able to hand-feed our Chickadees, Squirrels and Chipmunks. Our backyard is all yours, with a trail to our barn & Henson Road.

Provincial Parks / Wawa Area Information / Links

The Provincial Parks & Wawa Area are AWESOME! The drive from Sault Ste Marie to Wawa, through Lake Superior Provincial Park, has such spectacular views, this drive is rated as one of Canada’s TOP 10 Drives.

Alona Bay – Lake Superior

Here I am swimming in Superior, Old Woman Bay on Sept 26, 2015!! Wow!

Here is a map, showing you our favourite “quick” stops while driving through Lake Superior Park

Do you have a boat and want to fish? The Magpie Reservoir is 8 Miles away and has a boat launch and spectacular Walleye & Northern Pike fishing. Youngs General Store and Wawa’s Beach Front Trading Post have live bait & tackle – All your fishing needs.

Henson’s Road (Our Backyard) is an awesome road for ATVers or a 4×4. On June 17th we drove to the Dory River and caught a pic of this cute moose walking the road. 🙂
